Harden, an MVP candidate, has long been known for shooting the ball, but took over at the point for the Houston Rockets this season and has thrived. He averaged 29.0 points and 7.5 assists last season, and has improved both of those numbers so far this season (29.2 and 11.2).

Booker averages 22.0 points and 3.4 assists, but he’s shown himself capable of piling up assists, too. He has averaged 8.3 in his last three games and has 21 games with five or more this season.

He had 27 points, nine assists and five rebounds in Sunday’s 123-116 loss to the Rockets.

But could Booker really end up being the Suns’ starting point guard?

“I think if that’s possible, James will open up the door for him to do that,” Watson told azcentral.com. “You definitely see him with the ball in his hands down the stretch. It depends on the roster and creativity and vision of the program.”
